Course Objective

This course aims to provide knowledge on formation, deposition characteristics, paragenesis and successions of orthomagmatic ore deposits which are an important product of the orthomagmatic stage of the magma evolution. The course also aims to provide knowledge on exploration of such new deposits.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To be able to identify orthomagmatic processes and its products.
2   To be able to identify ore deposits formed by orthomagmatic processes assess these deposits according to different criteria and categories.
3   To be able define lithological, tectonic, mineralogical and geochemical features between different orthomagmatic ore deposits,
4   To be able to model the modes of occurrences of the orthomagmatic deposits.
5   To be able to work in exploration of orthomagmatic deposits, and to collaborate with different disciplines during either exploration or in exploiting procedures.
